VIRTUAL BATTERY



How does the virtual battery work?
As with any storage system, the virtual battery performs a dual process: charging and discharging. Let's take a closer look at how they work. When you feed your surpluses into the grid, the first thing Eficonsulting will do is assign them an economic value, meaning you don’t accumulate energy in kWh but in €. This monetization of surpluses is set at the price of the surplus in the wholesale market POOL. Once the value of the surpluses fed exceeds the maximum amount that Eficonsulting can compensate you for in that month's bill, they will be loaded into the virtual battery. With the surpluses accumulated in € in the virtual battery, they will first cover the bill for that month linked to the photovoltaic installation. After that, the surpluses can be compensated at other supply points of the same client linked to Eficonsulting.

Surplus compensation
The surplus compensation self-consumption model means that the energy produced by your solar panels and not consumed can be fed into the public grid. In exchange, and after signing a contract, the energy supplier will compensate you for these surpluses on the consumption part of your electricity bill. As we mentioned, the compensation limit is when your consumption reaches 0€. The rest of the electricity you feed in will benefit the energy supplier. And just because your consumption is 0€, it doesn't mean the bill will be 0, as you will still have to pay fixed costs (fees, charges…). So, at first glance, it doesn't seem very fair, does it? But this is what there was. Eficonsulting has launched new products even more beneficial for our clients. Virtual battery, solar piggy bank, or solar wallet.

Compensation for photovoltaic surpluses
Within the alternatives for compensating photovoltaic self-consumption surpluses offered by the energy market, there are several interesting proposals: such as the virtual battery; solar piggy bank and solar wallet. Eficonsulting introduces the first purchase of surpluses to POOL.

Invoice at 0 euros.
With the remaining surplus, your electricity bill at 0 €.
• Save it for future bills. Associate another supply under your name with Eficonsulting, so you can reduce the bill for a second home, for example.
• Something very interesting with the virtual battery is that, even if months pass without using the accumulated money, nothing happens, because these services do not expire, and you will only lose the accumulated amount if you switch to another energy supplier.
